When our representatives are making important
decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask
one basic question before making
those decisions, Is this good for
the children?
Just imagine what our world would be like if that question was asked prior
to making decisions about going to war, the environment, education or
healthcare.

On Monday's show of 6/5/17 Elaine B.
Holtz discusses with our first guest Dr. Gillian Squirrel
how she started to interact with the
homeless population in Sonoma County through
their pets. She noted how important
the pets were to their owner and how
innovative and responsible the owners are
under adverse circumstances. Gillian
started Homeless With Pets
to bring supporters and other professionals
into the caring services for the pets, like
veterinarian in the area who volunteer for
free veterinarian care for such pets. Often
the owners open up more to what they need
and public resources are then sought for
further help to the owner, such as medical
and dental services, to enter into housing
again with their pet. The lack of services
noted can then be addressed with policy
changes.Check out the link to
Homeless With Pets to see how you can
get involved.

supporter of Donald Trump in his successful

Sheriffs in the nation to meet with the new

Elaine B. Holtz interviews guest Annie Dobbs-Kramer,
who talks about Measure C submitted for the June Ballot by
the City of Santa Rosa on Rent Stabilization. "No on
Measure C" has been headlined by six large mailers to date, which
indicates a lot of money behind stopping this Measure. Do renters
often holding many jobs to make the rent and food each month have
the time or money to support ads for Measure C? NBOP states on
their website About Us: We are a power organization. works - in
collaboration with working people, congregations, environmentalists,
neighborhood organizations, young Latino professionals, youth who
are eager to lead, but lack venues, progressive organizations,
immigrant rights organizations and unions - we seek effective ways
to address the divide. We know that no matter how hard poor people
work without organizing for structural change the conditions that
keep them poor will continue."
